So today I decided to put all my school work on the back burner and work on my book. I am now on page 81 and am not even close to being done. I wish I knew someone who could write this for me. I just don’t think I am a very good writer and I want this to really turn out great. I have been working on the cover of the book and I think I have found a picture that I want to try to replicate. I am hoping I can get with my photographer this summer (when its warm enough to take pictures outside again) and have her help me recreate the image I have in my mind. I seriously can’t wait to finish it, and read it all the way through for myself, for the first time. Writing this book makes me so happy. I get to relive those really special moments of my past, and reflect on all of my blessings. To be completely honest, there are some that I wish I could do all over. I hate to say there are some people in my past that I didn’t treat as well as I should have and it breaks my heart to know that I may never get the chance to make amends. I know you can’t change the past, but I sure wish it were possible. Anyway, on a lighter note, I found a DVD that was made for me when I was baptized. I watched it today and I can’t tell you how happy it made me feel. Its a slideshow of pictures from that day along with a song called "Healing Waters." I sometimes forget how blessed I am to have found the gospel. I could be doing so much more with my time, expressing my thanks and gratitude. Maybe by writing this book, and being reminded of these things, will encourage me to really go the extra mile and start to be the 'go-getter' I use to be.
